whenever I execute this command i'm getting this error :

mavproxy --master=udp:my_ip:5760 --out=udp:my_ip:14550 --map

Which version of MAVProxy are you using?

Dec 15 '24 04:12 peterbarker

The latest MAVProxy Version: 1.8.71

@Aniskonig are you sure that's the only exception being thrown when you start the process?

AFAICS we unconditionally set self.default_popup when constructing a map module instance, so this is rather strange.

Please try adding set moddebug 3 in your .mavinit.scr file so we can get more information about this exception.

I have been having this issue too - printed in the logs is "ERROR in command ['load', 'map']: map not ready" which is likely the real exception of interest, raised here: https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy/blob/b39a31cd38f03dcd49d33aabbe361775367611a3/MAVProxy/modules/mavproxy_map/mp_slipmap.py#L74

It appears this is happening when the map takes a long time to load. Changing the timeout from 5 seconds to 60 fixes it for me, though I have to wait awhile. Perhaps the timeout could be made configurable, and the error message changed to inform the user of such. Some user feedback indicating the map is loading could be useful too.

I tried your solution but I'm getting the same error on the map, and here are more details:

I fixed the issue by following @eschutz recommendation and also editing the def mp_icon(filename) function in .../MAVProxy/modules/mavproxy_map/mp_tile.py

with the following code:

def mp_icon(filename):
    '''load an icon from the data directory'''
    # we have to jump through a lot of hoops to get an OpenCV image
    # when we may be in a package zip file
    try:
        import pkg_resources
        name = __name__
        if name == "__main__":
            name = "MAVProxy.modules.mavproxy_map.mp_tile"
        # Read the resource as bytes
        stream = pkg_resources.resource_stream(name, "data/%s" % filename).read()
        # Use frombuffer instead of fromstring to properly convert bytes to a numpy array
        raw = np.frombuffer(stream, dtype=np.uint8)
    except Exception:
        try:
            # Open the file in binary mode
            stream = open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'data', filename), 'rb').read()
            raw = np.frombuffer(stream, dtype=np.uint8)
        except Exception:
            # We're in a Windows exe, where pkg_resources doesn't work
            import pkgutil
            raw = pkgutil.get_data('MAVProxy', 'modules/mavproxy_map/data/' + filename)
            raw = np.frombuffer(raw, dtype=np.uint8)
    img = cv2.imdecode(raw, cv2.IMREAD_COLOR)
    return img

Care to PR your fixes?

I'm getting this now after upgrading my mavproxy on WSL2 (now at 1.8.71). I tried increasing the timeout to 120 seconds and it didn't fix it.
